I love you - I Always Have

She growled in an attempt to get him to back off out of her mind, “Listen Jedi….”

But her tirade was cut off completely when she felt the Jedi’s Judgment attack slam into her body. A blood curdling scream tore from her body, as the lightning tore through her body. Lord Validus had used Force Lightning on her twice before when she was a mere Apprentice, and he almost killed her the second time on accident. Her body was so small and compact, that this use of the Force would rip through her body. The Jedi’s attack was no different.

Jo’s tiny body seizured so hard against the electrical intrusion, that her whole body seemed to lift up off the ground and slam back down with a hard slap. Her muscles knotted, tending up with the excruciating pain that burned through her body. She could never stop the tears in the past, and this time was no exception. The tears flowed freely as her screaming seemed to go of forever.

Her body quaked and slammed minute after minute, both the sabers she’d used had rolled away from her spasming body. She could feel ribs crack and fracture as her body slammed into the ground. As suddenly as she’d felt the pain, and it had gone on forever, all of a sudden there was a short reprieve. The small Sith could hear a vague voice that sounded like Impalis arguing before her, and a scream, but it was all drowned out from the sobs that racked her body.

She managed to crawl to her knees before the pain started again, “The holocron is for my master. You can’t have it. I will never submit-”

The pain struck worse than before coursing through her as a conduit. She could feel her clothes start to burn from the heat of the electricity in her own body. Her aqua eyes blinked back and forth from her icy blue to fiery red as she fought to keep her eyes on the Jedi she refused to back down from.

The pain was unbearable. Her screams becoming louder and shriller as the pain intensified especially as she was refusing to give up her Master’s prize. After what seemed like her eyes over to Raven. He was blurry from her tears and pain, but it was almost as if he was shocked into place. For the first time since she’d met him, he was unsure of how to handle a situation.

She felt the Jedi’s resolve to finish her off as his impatience with the situation grew. The electrical current grew once again, this time lifting her into the air.

“RAVEN!!!!!!!!” she screamed in a pain laced horror as they Jedi slammed her body into the ground at Raven’s feet. She saw no reaction as her head hit the ground successfully knocking her into unconsciousness. One would imagine she was dead if it weren’t for the imperceptible lift of her chest trying to breathe to keep oxygen in her body.

Jo’s subconscious mind floated in what seemed a black oblivion. Opening her eyes, she looked around. She seemed intact, but it was so dark and cold here. She turned in this dark oblivion. Where was she?

‘Ouch’ she thought as she held her ribs suddenly, looking down she saw bruises forming, and pain curling its way up from her toes. But she was fine! There was nothing to hurt her here! Why was she in so much pain?!

“Jo, please don’t die on me…..I need you here with me……”

She whipped around in her oblivion. Who said that? It sounded like Raven. Was he trapped somewhere here too? Wherever ‘here’ was?

“I’m sorry, Master…..”

And Impalis!? What the hell was going on?! She wanted to scream, her body felt like it was burning. Suddenly she was grabbed by an invisible force; she was desperately trying to fight against it. The farther it pulled her, the more pain she felt. ‘Stop!’ she cried out in her mind. ‘I don’t want to go back to the pain!!’

This entity wasn’t listening to her and she began to fly further and further away from her haven, only to notice there was suddenly comforting warmth that joined the pain. As if it was trying to soothe her. Jo’s subconscious mind shift back into consciousness mind. Everything hurt. Breathing hurt…..thinking hurt…..she cracked her eyes open. That hurt now too.

“Raven?”

A sharp inhale was her only reply as her body was suddenly crushed into a desperate embrace. Gods, this hurt so bad…but...she inhaled, relaxing in his arms…so good…..she wanted to cry again just because she was finally in his arms.

So... I didn't scale it down all that much this time. Full-viewers beware.

Request for guildie on Gaia.. I spent a lot of time drawing and redrawing the male's expression and eventually I got frustrated and gave up. He looks like a child, and he really shouldn't... grr.

Otherwise, personal solution with my pet peive of black on black color palettes : Color! Mwahahaha!

Don't deprive me, I need it.
